If your Windows clients allow plaintext passwords you might as well
just enable plain text passwords in JCIFS all the time. Note that just
because you enable plaintext passwords in JCIFS doesn't mean plaintext
passwords will be used. It's something that is negotiated by the
server.

Eventually the plan is to allow changing these properties at runtime
because it is obviously more flexible. But the current system is
sufficient to match the behavior of Windows clients. And that is
satisfactory for now.
